We have an exciting announcement: Over the next six weeks, we will be featuring a series of healthy, brain-boosting dishes to celebrate the upcoming debut of my new docuseries, Broken Brain! Today’s recipe comes from Dr. Rupy Aujla, a master of using food as medicine and one of our guest experts in Broken Brain.

Cauliflower is one of Rupy’s favorite brassica vegetables. It’s incredibly versatile, takes on tons of flavor, and contains compounds with anticancer properties. Inflammation is recognized as one of the underlying causes of chronic disease; the anti-inflammatory compounds in this beautiful vegetable mitigate inflammation and support whole-body health.
